Gulf Air completely ignored cancellation/refund requests despite Middle East safety concerns — Indigo refunded immediately

Legal Advice Needed

I had a Bahrain-Mumbai Gulf Air flight on 5 May 2026 (PNR: UMBJPW).

Due to the Middle East tension/war-like situation during that period, I genuinely did not feel comfortable travelling and requested cancellation/refund support.

Interestingly, Indigo refunded my Mumbai-Bahrain ticket considering the situation. However, Gulf Air never even responded.

I tried:

  • Emails
  • Calls
  • AirSewa complaints

But Gulf Air gave absolutely no acknowledgement or support.

My issue is not only about refund, but also about the complete lack of passenger communication during a sensitive safety-related situation.

Has anyone else faced similar non-responsive behavior from Gulf Air? Any further escalation options beyond AirSewa/DGCA?
